Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

Described is a technique that mounts an optical volume into a mass optical storage device (MOSD) such that a side to be accessed is always loaded properly under a read/write mechanism. Time needed to flip the volume if the wrong side was mounted is eliminated. Information already known to the system and an operational convention to eliminate the extra flip are utilized. This is in marked contrast to a typical entry process which directly mounts the media to an optical disk drive: The volume label on the first side of the media is read, and system tables are updated to indicate the volume is no longer off-line but within the MOSD. The media is then flipped over using MOSD robotics, and an opposing side of the media is read. Again the system tables are updated to indicate this volume is within the MOSD.

Automatic Positioning of an Optical Volume to Proper Side

Described is a technique that mounts an optical volume into a mass optical
storage device (MOSD) such that a side to be accessed is always loaded
properly under a read/write mechanism. Time needed to flip the volume if the
wrong side was mounted is eliminated. Information already known to the system
and an operational convention to eliminate the extra flip are utilized. This is in
marked contrast to a typical entry process which directly mounts the media to an
optical disk drive: The volume label on the first side of the media is read, and
system tables are updated to indicate the volume is no longer off-line but within
the MOSD. The media is then flipped over using MOSD robotics, and an
opposing side of the media is read. Again the system tables are updated to
indicate this volume is within the MOSD.

An optical volume is one side of an optical disk. Each disk contains two
volumes, an A-side volume and a B-side volume. The side designation is made
when a volume is first entered into a MOSD. This side designation is unchanged
while the volume is recognized by the optical storage support. An operational
convention is to place a label of an optical disk to the right when inserting the
disk into the MOSD entry station. The A-side is always assigned to the volume
on the same side as the label, the B-side is assigned to the other side.

When a request is made for a volume that is not in the MOSD, but is found in
